Halvor Persgard Inspired Tray
Join Patti Goke, VGM as she introduces you to the painting of Halvor Persgard. Persgard (1810-1880) was a rosemaler from Numedal, Norway. Of the many painters who lived in Numedal, there isn’t much known about him. This is a bit unusual because he actively painted for about 40 years in Uveal, Nore, Collage and Veggli areas of the valley. He was self taught and has a distinctive and was probably influenced by the work he saw from the painters that came to the valley, namely from Hol, Hallingdal and Tinn, Telemark.
